1. This is Matthew, bringing you loving greetings from all souls at this station.  Always this season of holy days magnifies emotions in accordance with personal circumstances, and excitement and joy stream forth alongside despair and grief. In that respect, this year is much the same, but in another respect, there is a glorious difference. Out of the various hardships that have befallen so many of our beloved souls has flowed a vast giving from hearts around your world. Gratitude for blessings in your lives and compassion in greater abundance than ever before have inspired in like measure your sharing with those who have less. From families and neighbors to peoples in distant lands with different cultural beliefs and customs, the spirit of giving from the heart is blanketing Earth. We wish you could see this as we do— radiance like summer sunshine embracing Earth’s family of souls and melding with the light being beamed to you from many points in the galaxy. It is a most magnificent spectacle! 

2. Very few days remain in your 21^st century’s first decade, the most pivotal period in your recorded history. Throughout the past ten years that the light has been uprooting and exposing the darkness that for long ages was deeply entrenched, it also has opened more and wider windows for your self-discovery and introspection about the “unseen universe.” Your next decade will be an explosion of dynamic revelations that will forever change life in your world, including the imminent recognition of other civilizations’ presence. Other long-suppressed truths that will lead to a multitude of reforms will follow like tumbleweeds blown by the wind and lead you into Earth’s Golden Age.

3. Our primary message today is a special kind of offering, but first we shall address the question in many minds: What was that phenomenal appearance in the skies over Norway?  I asked my mother to copy what I told her in reply to Jean Hudon’s immediate query [www.EarthRainbowNetwork.com]: 

“Matthew says this is the most profound sign yet from our brothers and sisters in other civilizations that the time is nearing for their presence to be properly acknowledged —there is no way that those who do not want that to happen can explain away this dramatic sign. The overall spiral represents the unbroken interconnectedness of all souls from our Beginnings in the light—the intense light at the center—and the blue spiral aimed at Earth is the most forceful evidence to date of their desire for us to consciously connect with them in the same spirit they have come. The timing and location are significant, selected to mark the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Obama for his vision and dedication to achieving world peace and to indicate that they are here to assist us reach this goal.” 

4. Thank you, Mother.  As you have seen, an attempt was made to “explain it away” as a Russian missile, and a different theory has it coming from HAARP. We could not help but smile at the bumbling around the missile claim and crediting that nefarious manmade grid system with the astounding display produced by the technology of your multidimensional brotherhood.

5. Now then, we know that some of you are deeply disappointed about President Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, which seems to be totally contrary to his having been chosen to receive the prestigious peace award. In this moment that may appear to be so, but in time you shall see that the committee’s selection is indeed most appropriate.

6. From his beginning days in office, Obama has been confronted with powerful opposition to his godly vision for his country and a world at Peace, and while never wavering one iota from his ultimate intentions, he has had to make compromises and interim decisions that are not in consonance with his vision, with messages from his Soul. Ironically perhaps, the same energies that are inspiring gifts from the heart on an unprecedented scale also are causing those who are against all reforms to dig in their heels more stubbornly than ever; through bribery, blackmail or life-threats, the individuals who have woven the pernicious web of darkness still are calling many political shots.  Obama and the members of Congress who share his vision will tenaciously pursue the liberation of their government from those self-serving ones who wish to keep it under their control.    

7. This is not unique to the United States, it is happening in countries throughout your world.  What is occurring behind the scenes within and among governments will result in triumph for all light-filled peoples, and the dark ones in ruling bodies and every other organization that impacts life on Earth will disappear.  As planetary vibrations continue to rise, those ruthless manipulators will leave; their physical bodies cannot survive without the light that they refuse to accept, and the souls will go to worlds that correspond to their lifetime energy registration.

8. The Soul essence of Obama is expressed in his words, and you may remember that he wisely said to believe in yourselves. When you eagerly “raised your hand,” so to speak, you knew that you would experience the deception and corruption in politics, laws and the socio-economic strata, and you incarnated specifically to free your world from the destructive nature of that divisiveness and inequity.

9. And you are doing it!  In villages and towns, cities and metropolises worldwide, the energy of the populace is breaking down unjust systems that have been making the wealthy wealthier and the poor poorer, and there is growing impatience to accomplish profound changes.  This, too, is in response to the higher vibrations of intensifying light, and so is the desire for peace that underlies the growing discord even within military personnel.  All actions and reactions are being accentuated in accordance with the energy acceleration, which you perceive as time passing faster and faster, and the wrangling and bickering over issues will evolve into unity of larger purpose as Earth continues approaching  her Golden Age.

10. We have described that world of love, peace and cooperation among all peoples and life in harmony with Nature [“Essay on 2012”, December 31, 2007] and the master plan for this wondrous world that already IS in the continuum [November 21, 2008].  If you haven’t read those messages, doing so at your leisure will fill you with excitement and assurance. Our special offering today, in the form of excerpts from the Matthew books, is a collage of timeless truths about your physical and spirit lifetimes within our universal family and your planet homeland in a universal context. It is our fervent hope that our selection will illuminate your spiritual pathway into the Golden Age and inspire you to “live your light” as the god and goddess selves you are.

[Excerpts from Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven]

11. Life is meaningful, Mother!   There is an ecstasy, a fervor among the people here.  We have important work, almost limitless studies, visits to Earth families, glorious music, astounding travel and incomparable beauty.  Much more goes on here than the blissful life in spirit that is associated with Heaven!  Nirvana is the proper name of this realm. ….

12. There is no "Heaven" as a placement, nor a "hell" as such. What people on Earth refer to as Heaven and hell actually are their approaches to situations wherever they are, and what each individual manifests as the circumstances of his life.  ….  Every single soul there creates his surroundings, and they are different from even the same "set of props" as they appear to those who are sharing that life in any close capacity.  It is a matter of individual perception that creates each individual world, and one can choose how he wishes to perceive all aspects of his life.  It is just as easy to create the glories you attribute to Heaven as it is to create the horrors you associate with hell, and both conditions are being created right there! …. You have heard people say that someone "is creating his own hell," or "Heaven and hell are right here on Earth." YES!  And neither as perceived there is in this spirit realm.  ….

13. The Soul who has embodied on Earth is not bound by the same third density limitations as the physical body and psyche, so it is free to travel wherever it wishes during the sleep or deep meditative states of the person.  When there is closeness of souls, their love energy bonding alerts the others, including all those who have embodied again, to the imminent transition of any one.  That's why they can be on hand to greet him or her. Often one or more of them may be seen by that person prior to the physical death and understand in a blissful way that very soon he will be going with them.

14. As for subsequent reunions, always it is possible that they can meet in this realm, and most visits do take place here.   However, the souls may meet anyplace in the universe where their energy frequency enables them to go.  The soul that has reincarnated has total freedom for travel, and the energy bonding of that soul with any others anywhere will allow reunions wherever all parties wish within their energy limitations.  ….

15. Your thoughts and feelings of love and caring for others are prayers.  These can be at any time, in any place, with any words or no words, only feelings.  The effects of prayer are directly related to the intent and intensity of the thoughts and feelings. …. God never meant churches to be buildings of any kind.  The magnificent cathedrals are man's idea, not God's.  Church is all within the soul. Church is one's feelings of reverence, of thanksgiving. It is the uplifting of the spirit into the love and light of God. In this way, church is a single prayer that has the ability to touch the universe.  ….

16. Everything that IS, we already KNOW at soul level.  As we are inseparable from God and Creator, so we are inseparable from the universal mind.  It is consciously remembering all we know that is the journey through all our lifetimes.  ….  It is the completeness of experiencing and the earned return to Creator that is the culmination of the promise of perfection in eternity. The ongoing fulfillment of that eternal life is in the growth journey of the soul.

[Excerpts from Revelations for a New Era]

17. (Matthew) LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE!  Forces are at work in the universe that are "for" or "against" the good of Earth. The thought forms you originate attract like thought forms from the far greater brain power of the distant entities.  By universal law you must invite them to come, and they are indeed being invited!   Your INTENT is the basis of that invitation.  Intent has the greatest impact upon you and the planet because out of intent come the thought forms.  Whether your intent is "good" or "bad," it is your invitation to like-minded or like-intentioned entities to join and energize with yourself. ….

18. Life wouldn't be so complex if everyone knew that each person is a part of God and that even one person's energy is so powerful that it affects multitudes. That is why converting a negative attitude into a positive one is so important.  Consider a casual conversation: The tone can be either upbeat or downtrodden, and it not only correspondingly affects those conversing, but it has far-reaching beneficial or harmful ripple effects as those people spread their sensations.   A smile is irresistible!   The natural reaction to a smile results in positive energy movement that replaces the negative pockets holding psyches captive.  That kind of positive attitude can do more to assist Earth to relieve her travail than any other actions at your level.  Smiling is beaming goodness to all around you, and the ripple effect is incomparable in its scope of betterment. ….

19. The Soul is the very essence of life as it first sprang from Creator.  It is an indestructible living entity of light energy that may have a physical body, etheric body or astral body, or it may exist in free spirit only.  Our souls, manifested by God through His co-creating powers with Creator, are expressions of the love and light of God and contain in microcosm every essence of God.   In any of its forms, the soul is an inviolate independent being at the same time it exists inseparably with God and Creator and all other souls in the cosmos.

20. The body is only a very fleeting vehicle for use by the soul, which is far stronger and more tenacious than any third density body such as those of Earth humankind. And, the body does not hold the soul, the soul creates the body from its image that will fit the specific experiencing it chooses in each incarnate lifetime. When the soul is released from the physical body, its etheric body is released at that same instant, and in that etheric body the soul makes its lightning-fast transition from Earth to Nirvana, the change from a physical life to a life in spirit that you call “death.”

21. The soul is the power behind everything that exists on Earth.  It is the life force of all its parts that it creates for ever-greater experiencing.  At every level of evolvement, each soul part is an independent self with intelligence, characteristics, choices, goals and all the other life elements that make each person a unique being.  Each individual lifetime of a soul is its personage. The sum of a soul's personages is the cumulative soul, in which all knowledge gained by each personage is available to all. Thus, as each melds into the cumulative soul, bringing the wisdom of that lifetime’s experiences, every individual personage evolves just as the cumulative soul does. ….

22. Karma is not only opportunities for souls to gain balance, it is a symbiotic relationship between souls and Earth. As microcosms of Earth, humankind add to her balance as they evolve through their own karmic learning, and this gives Earth more light to radiate to her residents, thus giving them a boost toward attaining balance.  Karmic lessons can be presented anyplace in this universe. Although lifetimes in other kinds of physical forms and worlds is essential to progress toward reintegration with God, then with Creator, usually Earth is the schoolhouse for experiencing all emotions incurred from the beginning of human life on the planet.  When that is mastered, souls evolve into other life forms in placements where intelligence and spiritual awareness are beyond the present capabilities of the great majority of Earth's peoples. ….

23. (Ithaca) Humankind as represented by Adam and Eve did not spontaneously appear on Earth. Nor did humans descend from the apes as theorized by Darwin. There was a similarity only in ancestral physical form, with approximate sizes and upright movement. All varieties of the ape family on your planet diversified from the original ape root stock. Humankind evolved into current likeness directly from the parallel developing of the human root stock introduced by their extraterrestrial ancestors. The brain and God fragment with soul attachment introduced directly and ONLY into Homo sapiens is the vital difference in the two lineages. ….

24. The “lost continents” of Atlantis and Lemuria are not fanciful stories. They are part of Earth civilization's beginnings, and most souls embodied on Earth today were part of those two populations during their most turbulent times.

25. (Matthew) Earth is more than a small planet in an ordinary solar system in a minor galaxy among the billions in our universe.  The planet was one of God's favorite placements and actually was the paradise named Eden.  Its radiant aura and pristine beauty made it a showcase in this part of the universe, where it was a testament to the power of God co-creating with Creator in love-light energy.  The planet then was the antithesis of all that the forces of darkness had made to plague the universe, and the conquest of Earth became their objective. ….

26. Whales anchor light energy beamed at Earth from distant sources, and their holding pattern of that energy within the ocean depths and vastness is at a wavelength beyond the dark forces’ attunement level.  Now you can see why influencing her humankind to eliminate whale life has been one of the major strategies and a goal of the dark forces.  To counter that negatively-aimed energy, some humans have acted on soul level inspiration to bravely and steadfastly work to save the whales from extinction.  The current comeback in whale numbers is specifically to raise vibrations during these years of Earth's ascendance out of negativity as the light heals her planetary body and lifts the consciousness of her peoples. ….

27. Animal energy doesn't always embody in animal form, but it can do so for many lifetimes while learning to recognize its value in the Oneness of All. Creator’s light essence is the source of all manifesting energy, and just as human lives are sacred and inviolate soul-selves, so are the lives of all animals.   Each animal soul comes to Nirvana after its Earth lifetime ends and, like a human soul, it chooses its next embodiment based on its past lifetime experiences. As an animal acquires greater intelligence, it also gains awareness of the inseparability of all life and the direct connection of all with God and Creator. ….

28. In their evolution, some animals may have a human soul source.  Although most do not, some in the higher orders may derive from a human soul that wishes to experience as an animal to fill a niche in the growth pathway that such a life would enable. If so, usually the choice would be among animal species that most often are treated with mercy and caring rather than those who are treated miserably or are raised only for food or whose lives are untouched by humans. 

29. I'll give you an analogy of how a soul can direct an energy stream to initiate an animal—or human—lifetime.  Think of the soul as a pond into which you toss a pebble and see how sun rays upon the rippling water create countless points of light.  The refraction of light and the energy in the ripples represents human soul energy streams that may be used to manifest any number of animal and human lifetimes, whatever the soul chooses to achieve balance.  All of this takes place in the continuum, where all those lifetimes are happening simultaneously.  

S: Matthew, I just heard from Kalama that a representative of the people who perished in the towers told her they gave you a message. If you have something, I’m sure Jean and Michael will send it out.

30. MATTHEW:  Yes, Mother, I have their message, and I have been asked to speak on behalf of the Council of Nirvana and all other souls in this realm and beyond.  We weep.  We see the larger picture, but still we weep.  Who could not do that in these days of agonizing shock and sorrow?   We urge all souls to feel love, compassion and peace and hold these emotions in your heart—in a moment, your beloved family and friends who so recently came here will speak of this in their own words.

31. Every one of them is being tended most lovingly, with gentleness and understanding.  Many recognize these familiar surroundings from other spirit lifetimes and remember that they knew this was to happen and agreed at soul level to participate. But they, as we, know this cannot comfort the people who love them. 

32. The dark minds behind this seemingly inexplicable agony claim that war will be “justice for those who died.”  But the war is intended to create even greater negativity in an attempt to extinguish all light on the planet.  The perpetrators want you to feel fear and hatred and demand “justice” because they know that only by continuing their cycle of violence can they keep their pernicious hold in this critical time of souls choosing between the light and the darkness.   Choose you must, and choose the LIGHT you must!

33. What happened is not a nation against another nation. It is not even a tiny faction of humankind against all other humankind. The root of this madness is a malignant power that most of you don’t know exists, but its intentions are so malevolent that Earth herself is weeping.   This truth will be revealed in time, but for now, please hold only healing love in your hearts for all life.  Let the god self in each of you sustain your light so your conscious self won’t align with the darkness that wants retaliation, revenge, hatred, more cold-hearted killing.

34. Let the thousands of lives that left Earth in those fiery moments stand for something besides what the dark ones want.  As a collective voice, these recently departed souls are saying:

        “Let no more lives be taken. This is the time to keep love above all, for compassion, for bringing healing to the bereaved and injured, for bringing healing to Earth.  Please know that the hearts that are hardened into wanting to kill others as their tribute to us, they need light above all.   We petition you from the whole of this realm of Heaven to speak of love, of opening eyes to seeing clearly what is happening on Earth, and rising above the tragedy that has been perpetrated by a darkness you cannot even imagine, where your entire world is expendable.   We see this from here.   We need you to help the myriad light workers by uplifting your hearts and allowing light to come in, by comforting those in fresh sorrow.   You must hear our plea.  We are working in the light to assist you, and we are forever bonded with you in love.”

[Excerpts from Illuminations for a New Era]

35. (Matthew) The pain of Earth HAS to come to light so it can be healed.  As long as it remains in the darkness that spawned it, it never can be healed.  LOVE is the only essence in the universe that can heal pain, whether in a single soul or in a force field of such power that you cannot begin to imagine it.   Light, the visible and inseparable component of love, is being infused into Earth herself and her collective life forms to accomplish the healing.  While your world may seem hopelessly out of control, it is NOT!   It is within each individual where the control lies, each soul’s unlimited capacity for LOVE. ….

36. The energy of fear forms a barrier between the feared object or circumstances and the energy of light.  Because of the barrier, the light in the souls of fear-full people cannot reach their consciousness to dispel the power of those fears over their lives, and the light being sent to them by light workers cannot penetrate. The barrier feels like a real wall, isolating the person with the consuming fear and leaving no way out. This energy blockage of the light intensifies the power of whatever is feared, thus enabling it to draw to itself more manifestations to be feared. Fear is wildly contagious, and due to its magnification in power, fear sensation streamers have sticky edges that attract the kinds of energetic interactions that omit common sense, sound judgment, and wise decisions.  Fear is so insidious that it can convince a person that the only way to escape is through portals leading deeper and deeper into darkness.   Fear is the forebear of such actions or characteristics deemed prejudice, tyranny, greed, cruelty, belligerence, deception, dishonor and hatred, and even those seemingly senseless tortures or deaths of innocents arise through psyches that have been twisted and tormented by fears.  The light, in which love and universal knowledge and spiritual clarity abide, cannot reach those souls to let them know their spiritual powers are far stronger than anything the dark powers can conjure to frighten them. Nothing is stronger than the light, which is the gift to every soul of the love and power of God.  ….

37. (God) So, this “forecasting” you’re asking about, as if Dooms Day or Armageddon is on the near horizon—forget that!  It is NOT the case!  It is the concept of some, so they can create that for themselves as long as they are alive on Earth to do so, because it is solely the province of their ideas.  Their CONVICTIONS do that creating!   So, those souls who are intent upon having an Armageddon, so they shall!   But for you who aren't intent upon having that sort of “future,” you WON'T! ….

38. You can stay within the light and rise into higher and higher dimensions of closeness, understanding, awareness.  There are no strict rules that are so complex or rigorous that you and anyone else aren't capable of adhering to them.  All that is required is to live within the light! Or in simplest terms: BE KIND. ….

39. I weep with each soul who is suffering in any way and I rejoice with each soul who is feeling joy.  I am the soul of all of the worst and all of the best, so I cannot be inseparable from the best and not inseparable from the worst.  Am I happy about what I see happening on Earth?  For those who are happy, yes, I am, too. For those who are worrying that their tyrannical power is diminishing, I feel that, too. ….  There is no entirety of separate pieces, there is amalgamation.  The souls are inviolate during their physical lifetimes and remain inviolate in spirit, so they influence within “the body of God” just as they influence the play unfolding on Earth.  ….  Do I WISH that all of my parts were within the light in which I was created?  Yes! Who would not wish that perfection of Creator to be returned!  But I do not hold forth condemnation or punishment to any faltering part of me.  I am here to respond to what you call prayers of the "godly" just as I am bound by the laws of Creator that are set up within the parameters of my operating powers if the choice made is not within the light.  ….

40. So then, what can I say that you will consider acceptable to all who pray to me for peace to come soon, for peace and justness and love to reign on Earth?   I can say this:   I hear your prayers – they are my very own prayers! – and they shall be answered as we who desire this wish!

41. The days at hand are the final chapter of violence, hatred, grief, destruction, tyranny, and death as you know it on Earth.  Even as the war rages, as death claims physical bodies and beloved souls are greeted in Nirvana, the promised new era is being ushered in. Sources most of you don’t know are helping you and your planet with abundant and profound aid—the light, love and technology of my children of civilizations who at the right moment will introduce themselves to you. 

42. These are the long, sad, dark days before the universal brotherhood can make known their presence among you and be your helpers in restoring your planet. The darkest of souls, wherein lies the free will that I cannot control, curtail or even touch by my own love because they refuse it, will be leaving Earth as their energy cannot withstand the higher energy of the light arriving in your atmosphere by the moment.

43. Know that this entity you call God or other equally suitable names is “taking sides” with Goodness, the godliness you associate with love, mercy, compassion, justness, caring for one another.  I cannot intervene in or circumvent the laws of Creator that have allowed desecration of that Goodness by the free will of dark souls who equally are a part of me, but I can speak my piece for my children of Earth and its sanctuary realm Nirvana whose godliness remains:  The radiance of Spirit, your planet restored to her former glory, and the abiding love of All is One is what you came into this lifetime to experience.  And you SHALL, on Earth as it is in Heaven!  Know that this is so!

 [Excerpts from Voices of the Universe]

44. (Hatonn) You are yearning to feel something that isn’t in books or graphs or seminars. It is the private pathway to your godself you need, not the mysterious mountains and valleys to travel for years and years.  Nevertheless, if you have spent years in this journey, start connecting directly with God without further delay! ….  A child comes into an Earth lifetime with knowledge of that direct God connection, that absolute intuitive knowing, that total sensing of inseparability. The child hasn’t studied, hasn’t spent hours in seminars or been treated to sessions of calling upon help from the ascended masters. The child simply IS the godself!  Only by orientation away from that does the passing of your time bring about the separation. Then you search for your connection through those various forms of “how to” reach what always has been yours, always has been YOU!

45. (Matthew) What you perceive as random events, chance meetings, good or bad luck, isolated incidents, and especially what you call “coincidences” actually are energy in motion in perfectly defined and aligned directions to achieve specific results.  …. Synchronicity has no beginning and no ending—like the universe, it always is in motion—and synchronous happenings are not as obvious as a straight line. …. Synchronicity is the series of situations required to manifest the intended result of all the players.  Please don’t take offense at my term “players.”  If you could know the profound importance to your soul of your consciousness acting upon your variety of inspirations, motivations and intuitions, yet the simple reason for ALL the happenings, you would understand that Earth is a stage for all of you to play out the karmic roles you chose. The “importance” is the soul’s chosen mission that is being relayed to your consciousness via those nudgings; the “simple reason” for all happenings is that you manifested them by your free will choices.  ….  You do of course participate in synchronous happenings, but you are not responsible for creating the circumstances or contacting the people who will be the links.  Countless sources of energy come into play for each life, arranging the opportunities for connecting the links.  But as always, free will is honored, so at each “open door”—or, new acquaintance or event—everyone may respond as he or she wishes.  

46. (Lazarus) Our beloved Terra has regained a great deal of her former strength with the incoming light, but we still are adding ours along with our technology to assure her stability. Not all the upheaval in ridding her of negativity is over, you know, and there’s no point in diminishing our diligence in this respect until she is fully within fourth density vibrations.  Then we’ll all shout Hallelujah—our work there will be done!  And at that point, you’ll all know your universal brothers and sisters. …. I devoutly hope that when the first ETs make their presence known on Earth that people will be able to think of us with families like yours, whom we love just as dearly as you love yours. 

47. MATTHEW:  And with that offering of enlightenment, guidance and encouragement in these waning days of your new century’s first decade, we now take our leave in message form only, as we are with you every moment along every step of your journey.
